Performance testing has supported web app peak analysis but needs better setup and smarter scripting
Regarding points for improvement for OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering (LoadRunner Enterprise), I see that features are not being fully developed yet. If OpenText could think about bringing AI features into the tool, it could save maximum time in scripting or make scripting effortless, particularly in correlation, which is where the complexity involved in script development exists. If any AI features could replace or eliminate more manual work on the correlation part, that is where we could see a game-changing improvement for the tool. OpenText Enterprise Performance Engineering (LoadRunner Enterprise) can be positioned very well in the market. However, I see that the basic correlations are only being handled by the autocorrelation engine in the LoadRunner tool, and I would expect a few improvements to handle even complex correlation problems so that the tool can be appropriately positioned compared to their peers.

Need improvements ,but has cloud and on-premises options
The solution is not in an optimal state. During POC, we analyzed tool is kept on upgrading. The patch deployment is happening in parallel, things that are working today are not working tomorrow. We eventually sorted it out with help of CSM. We integrated this tool with other software such as Azure client, but many times without a valid or visible reason, the connectivity was breaking. Improvement suggestions- The dashboard creation for the reporting needs to be easier. Currently, the solution does not support multiple script executions and we would like to see support for this.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"This product is better oriented to large, enterprise-oriented organizations."
"We have high confidence that the results are reliable, it's helped catch multiple bugs before they've gone to production, and we're able to more confidently release software into production."
"I like how you can make modifications to the script on LoadRunner Enterprise. You don't have to go into the IDE itself."
"The most valuable feature is the enterprise card, as it allows us to use our central software for all our testers who are located worldwide."
"The features I feel were most valuable were the reporting capabilities, the scheduling, and the ability to execute tests from anywhere."
"It is a great product that provides one with an extensive amount of functionality."
"Looking at the load of more of the applications and the testing needs have definitely been met."
"From a technical perspective, LoadRunner has always been good."
"You can utilize this tool on the cloud, and also access application on-premises. That is a very good part of the solution."
"The most valuable feature is the support for Java, where we can quickly code what we need."
"Their technical support is awesome."
 

Cons

"They need to focus on minimizing the cost."
"Regarding OpenText technical support, I find it very pathetic."
"After they get over the acquisition, the first improvement is going to be tailoring it for their existing stack of other products. How would LoadRunner work for Documentum? How would it work for Business Network? How would it work for other apps? They can have a pre-package or a guide because they are all in the same family as opposed to being outside."
"The installation has not been straightforward, and we have had so many problems. We have had to re-install, try to install on a different machine, etc. We have not been able to launch the LRE server itself yet."
"It's expensive, so could be cheaper."
"Storing the results of our tests requires the use of a lot of memory in our data center."
"The solution is expensive."
"Mobility, I think, is the biggest for us right now."
"The performance of the tool needs to improve."
"The solution is quite immature, it is not in an optimal state."
"We used an implementation strategy to deploy the solution, not because of the tools, but mainly because of the scripting part of the tool."
"The solution lacks a little bit in the reporting features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is okay. You're able to buy it, as opposed to paying for a full year."
"The price is a bit too high."
"It does everything you could hope for in a performance testing solution. It's not cheap."
"The tool is very expensive."
"LoadRunner Enterprise's price is high."
"The price is really steep. It's an enterprise-level tool."
"There is an ROI. What LoadRunner does, is it prevents failures when there are many, many concurrent users in the systems of a company."
"I have not been directly involved in price negotiations but my understanding is that while the cost is a little bit high, it provides good value for the money."
"The only positive point is it came free with my test automation tool."
"This solution is in the average price range compared to other testing tools."
